Hackers Help: Can I easily shorten the KOMPLEMENT drawer runners?

I’m planning to retrofit an existing wardrobe with Komplement drawers. Unfortunately the cavity is only 53cm deep, so the drawers for the 58cm Pax do not look like they will fit – or will they, ie. does someone have the exact drawer dimensions?

It seems such a waste of space to only use the drawers for the 35er bodies…

I am happy to embark on a shortening exercise of the drawers – which for the body of the drawer should not be a problem. However, will I be able to shorten the sliders/gliders easily or will this be a major hassle?

I want to do a similar project in shortening pax wardrobes from 60 cm deep to 50 cm deep. The runners for drawers and pull out shelves are the problem as they are different to other sliders that IKEA do. The best idea I can find is a pair of BESTA runners 37cm long. It means that you will have to drill a hole in the drawer base for the upstanding spigot to go into that goes as near to the front of the drawer as possible. I bet you have done the alteration or you have done another workaround by now so let me know what you did.
